When do you kill the test instead of fixing one more thing?
That’s uncomfortable but useful. I’ll write the decision before the next brief, including the result that would make us stop.

When do you kill the test instead of fixing one more thing?
There’s always another hook, another page, another audience. I want a way to decide whether we learned something actionable or are just buying ourselves another week.

What has to be true before I double the content budget?
I’ll separate the next experiment budget from the baseline budget. That makes it easier to stop if the extra batch teaches us something different.

One post went well and the temptation is immediate. I’d like a rule that asks more than “did the chart go up?” without waiting for impossible certainty.

Our “free” organic channel is eating most of my week
I’ll start with hours per finished batch. That should expose the approval loop that keeps disappearing from the budget.

No media spend, plenty of editing, revisions and coordination. I want to compare it with other acquisition work without pretending founder time costs nothing.

“Five free generations” gets confusing as soon as I edit one slide
I’ll write the examples before choosing the UI label. If I can’t explain those cases simply, the rule probably isn’t ready.

Does a retry count? A new outline? Replacing one image? I want the limit to be understandable before the user spends the allowance.

A customer paid, then got refunded. Do they disappear from acquisition?
I’ll keep the acquisition definition stable and add the refund view. Recent cohorts also need time to mature before comparing retained revenue.

I want first buyers, retained revenue and refunds to make sense together. Right now a later refund quietly rewrites the earlier acquisition count.
